Re: MYTHBUSTERS...........On 500EFI valve springs
 

I just did the job for Brad Schoenwald. I first scanned the computers for codes, then did a compression test on warm engines with wide-open throttles.
Entire job took 10 hours and the springs were about $500.00.

Yeah, it's closer to riding a car in 3rd gear at 4000 rpms up hill for 200 hrs.

10 Hours?? We were having so much fun it felt more like two!

Thanks Mr. Cozzi

If it ever warms up around here I am looking forward to our shake-down cruise.

Brad is a great helper and if he wasn't there 10 hours would never be enough to do it like we did.

What are the problems they have with the carb motors???

Sorry Ed-We ran Sunday--I know, it was wicked cold and the wind was about 20-25 kts so I busted out my old Alaska wear. My neighbor still thinks I'm nuts but I didn't want to wait and with the wind out of the NW it gave us a decent lee close to the beach. "Tubbs" and I ran out of Port Everglades and everything is good, it was a little rough but we were able to run WOT for a bit and got great numbers for the conditions.

Thanks again and call me anytime so I can get you back out...
